Introduction

ProcessForce uses the SAP Business One MRP Wizard and Order Recommendation forms.

When running MRP and using the Order Recommendation form, operate them like you would using just SAP Business One.

At the stage of Order Recommendation, when creating Production Orders, the function creates ProcessForce Manufacturing Orders.

Schedule Manufacturing Orders based on backward scheduling from the required due date calculated by MRP.
